Publisher's summary

As the Blitz continues to ravage London, Ellie McDonnell is approached by British Intelligence officer Major Ramsey with a new assignment. She is to travel under an assumed identity to the port city of Sunderland and there await further instructions.

Ellie, ever-ready to aid her country, heads north, her safe-cracking tools in tow. But before she can rendezvous with the major, she witnesses an unnatural death. A man falls dead in the street in front of her, with a mysterious missive clutched in his hand. Ellie’s instincts tell her that the man’s death is connected in some way to her mission. After she is reunited with Major Ramsey, the pair discovers that the dead man had ties to a counterfeiting operation, supplying German spies with fraudulent British currency to use in their operations. Even more troubling, it quickly becomes apparent someone high-up in the operation is helping to smuggle those spies into England across the North Sea.

Soon, Ellie and the major are locked in a battle of wits and a race against time with an unknown and deadly adversary. With German bombs dropping on the city and a would-be assassin shadowing their every move, it will take all of Ellie’s resourcefulness and Major Ramsey’s fortitude to unmask the spymaster and avert disastrous consequences—for England and for their own lives.

A unique and fascinating story

This book is as entertaining and intriguing as the first two in the series and just as enjoyable. The characters are refreshingly unique but quite believable. One hopes it won’t be long until there is a fourth.

Such a cute fun story set in a a time of chaos and crisis

Chaos and crisis becomes a funny who done it. Enough of the sad and harrowing truth about England in the midst of WWII. And I’m the middle of it all she’s growing and turning corners.

Great series

This series has interesting characters, good plots, a mystery, and a love story. It’s all well done, and I love learning more about the characters, their relationships and the underlying mystery. I look forward to the next installment.

Absolutely love this series!

This series has it all - intrigue, mystery, and romance. The Major & Ellie are a perfect combination. So sad I have to wait another year for the next book.

Intriguing story with likable characters

I am so happy I discovered this series. The characters are wonderful and the plot line intriguing. Ashley Weaver can’t write them fast enough to please me. I particularly enjoyed the audio versions of the books and thought the narrator did a remarkable job bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend this series.

I love this series!!!

I’ve read all three books in this series back to back and love what Ashley Weaver is doing with this cast of characters!! This one ends on the most striking cliff hanger, so I hope Book 4 is close behind!!
